Such a pretty car. I've driven 308s and 328s, both great. The looks, feel, sound. I've had a Ferrari in the garage for more than 14 years now. Still special, always will be. Invest in an open gate, manual Ferrari if you can. You won't regret it. They will never be made like this again.
I really love your video. Two of my favorite cars. I'm a Porsche guy, but I've always wanted the 308, 328 and most of all, the 246 Dino GT. Thank you for sharing. All the best.
This is all any petrol head needs, the new 10,000hp hybrid supercars do nothing for me....this on the other hand ...a dream car for me in 1980 when I was 16 watching magnum ....peace
From a time where there were no multi-layered CPUs "interpreting" and "interfering" with the driver's inputs. These were purely mechanical times so it was from you, to the controls, to the road. This car would feel engaging in a crowded car park.
Loved the 308 and magnum pi And that episode when magnum decks postman pat for pulling out in front of Robin Massters Ferrari Higgins would not be happy
Great video Pete, as you know and I have mentioned before, the 308 GTS is my all time favourite car, but I would have to have one with the 3 black grills on the front and obviously wins between the two hands down, I'm also going to 50 this year actually next month, so growing up watching all the iconic car shows in the 80's especially Magnum ( Airwolf was my personal favourite ), which is where I fell in love with the 308, and you can't forget about the best 80's car film The Cannonball Run, hopefully one day I will at least get to sit in one let alone drive one
Another favourite of mine along with the 246 Dino. These would join my 275 GTB, Daytona, Roma and 296GTB in my dream garage. Oh well back to reality I’ll just up my medication! Thanks for another great drive thank you! Look forward to a Miura next!
Maybe a year late to the party, but what a blast from my youth too 😂. Pure Magnum nirvana Pete!! Thank you. I could feel the joy through your commentary.
I feel the same way about the 308. It's one of my favourites. It may not be the best Ferrari but it's the first supercar I saw regularly on telly and when you think all we were seeing was MK4 Cortina, Escort, Metro, Maestro etc it was very exotic.
Got my 308 GTS qv for my 30th birthday … which was a LONG time ago. 🤨 Whilst all my mates were out on the razz and heading to shagaloof I saved my cash. Loved it… and yes, I also thought was Tom Seleck 🤭. Even came with A308 GTJ number plate… 🤓
Another classic,so nice. Tom Selleck was even taller than you Pete,his head stuck out above the screen. Italian ape driving position, legs off to the left,need long arms and short legs. I was a fan of Magnum P.I as well.
Magnum's tail slide pulling away in the opening section of the programme did it for me. Always wanted a 308 after that. Once upon a time, they weren't anything like the prices commanded today.
Great show Nagnum PI, I was old enough to recall the show it replaced Hawaii 5 O'. But ferrari made Tom Selleck a star, oh of course with his famous mustashed look! 😎
Hey Ped. We are both of the same vintage and I loved the cars from the TV shows of the 80s from the Gran Torino in Starsky and Hutch to the 3.0 Capri S in the Professionals and this was another icon. Great stuff!
I adore both cars. They on my dream garage list. I loved Magnun P.I. with Tom Selleck (not the reboot). In period interviews, Tom said he was too tall for the 308 (although some other Ferrari's from that era fit him fine). They always had to film with the targa top off so Tom could have a little extra head room. I believe they had to take some of the padding out of the drivers seat too and thus, it wasn't too comfortable.
Centre console is black seats are cream...? obviously not original interior. It was a black interior by the looks of it, lovely example though but keeping it original is key.
Sir Pete the hammer time videos both are stunning just like the cares featured in them! The 288gto (my dream Ferrari) and 308 have similar design cues it seems. What a fun car!
Two stunning cars without a doubt. Personally the Dino would take pole for looks and styling. Nostalgia is almost a double edged sword, you think I have always wanted one, but could you live with it🤔
Haha right knee left knee who cares! Used to love watching Magnum PI pull away in that car in the starting sequence! Very iconic car when I was a young lad. Ferrari and the Cotwolds #perfection #winning
I too came across the 308 charms watching Magnum PI in the mid eighties. For me its the body styling and looks. It has very good mechanical designs, example double wishbone, independent all round suspensions with disk brakes. Just the awkward sitting position. Wished one day I could own one 308GTB. Regarding the injection versions we cannot really call that an injection system, its more a continuous mechanical fuel sprayer in the inlet manifold! It was more readily available on the market I suppose and easier to work with!
I really enjoy the Vintage Voltage conversions but I also like the sound of the original ICE just as much, despite owning a BEV. Well done for avoiding that Royal Mail van who threatened to collide with you!

Kind of relief that it wasn't a plastic EV job bu a real car with gears and sound to go with it. Makes a change from reviewers trying to look excited about - well- nothing much really or the fact that the car is in fact an X-box steering itself and crew into terminal boredom. You'd never get bored driving this one though...
It’s a tough job but someone has to do it 🙂 2 fantastic cars but think we prefer the Dino still. Amazing to think when you converted one to electric it broke the internet
I think you need a Claudio Lugli shirt for that car..nothing less and with dozens of prancing horses on it…it works for James Martin!! There you are, a Hero met and not disappointed! You might have to speak nicely to Mrs PP when the auction starts.😀😀😀😀😎😎😎😎Richard
My first car was a mk2 Ford escort 2 door 1100 but i put a 1600 in it with a Twin Weber carb with a little dish pan air filter and it went and sounded fantastic and i was only 17 years old and that car was sideways more than straight loved 🌧 days haha 😄
OK, so you completely missed out the other Dino - 308GT4 - which was the first Ferrrai V8 and built from 1974 - 1979. The 246 ended in 1973 and the 308 GTB didn't start until 1976 when the first models had fibreglass panels.
These vids reinforce my belief that given the choice (and I had a 550 Maranello years ago, which was relatively modern at the time) I’d much rather have a Ferrari of this vintage and not the modern examples.

Still the iconic Ferrari shape Ped. Don’t forget to retrieve your standard issue stick on moustache. That Postman Pat is a bit of a dark horse isn’t he? 😂😂😂
Id definitely be overwhelmed driving that 308 gts loved magnium growing up, i think driving older cars ya just want to enjoy the moment and not thrash the pants of them🥰😍
Good place to start the partnership Ped.... 👍🏻 308 still looks sharp but the 60s lines & back story of Enzo's son Dino give the nod to that one for me I think. Keep them coming, waiting to see what British & German classics are in the pipeline 🤗
Dream car for me. I was wondering if the extra sessions with your PT were leading up to this - but think you were wise not to try jumping in over the door like Magnum. Looks a bit tight in there. Could have been uncomfortable having your gate shifted on the gear stick. Great video. 👍
Maybe we can =start with the Dino n finish off with the 246. the 308 looks good very good But Not in comparison to the 246, the Dino is in a different leaque when it comes to looks
why is it with these amazing older cars you have issues with fitting in them! Shows they were a lot smaller than cars of now!! I think I would have fitted at my perfect 5'3 (yep have shrunk by an inch!!) Great review of Magnum's Ferrari
One is rather more affordable than the other! After 35 years of waiting I just bought a red 82 308GTSi. Not the pick of the crop but who cares! It’s sat in my garage waiting for it’s V5 to turn up and the wait is killing me! The most surprising thing about them in real life is the dimensions. Absolutely tiny.
@@MartyMcFly375-81 carbed cars, followed by 83-85 4 valve injected cars. Mines an 82 2v injected car, “least desirable “. Could I care? Not a bit 😊. None of them are fast by today’s standards but they provide a wonderful driving experience
Sorry PP not even in my top 100......... Now the new 296 GTB.... Wow that is a very Beautiful car...( a bit of GT 40 in there ) But it is a V6 like the Dino.... Do Ferrari now accept the Dino as a True Ferrari?? The rule used to be "Nothing less than a V8"?? I see the one you drove had all Ferrari badges... Not original or are they?? :-) Love to Mrs PP more of her please...She is a star...
Way better than that Electric crap Mr P. The Engineering, The Sound, And all with no Range anxiety. Sadly one day they will be banned and we will all have a food blender for an engine, in a crappy eco box. Because we all can`t afford Tesla prices. Thankfully it wont happen for ages yet as we haven't got the infrastructure to ban Petrol and Diesel in 2030. Thank the lord
Nice one! Just a good car with a good engine, from before you needed a million horsepower to have fun. Re: the title, "Dino VS 308"... it would be great to hear your tasting notes on how the two compared...? No doubt the 308 is "better" in every way...??
Gorgeous car. Those seats don’t look that comfortable but hey it’s a 308. Loads of great looking Ferraris but the 308 and the 355 have to be the best of the old bunch. dare I Say even better than a Daytona my opinion. That engine loads better than a battery
Should have driven the GT4 which was the true successor to the original Dino and was also sold as a Dino (not a Ferrari). Its 255hp engine, longer wheelbase and better seating and diving position made for a better road car which feels better linked to the original Dino in flavour. Every GTB I`ve driven, including the early ones with supposedly the same power feels blunted and the handling not as taut. Seating/driving position also not as good as the GT4 for this 6` 2" ex rugby player either. Maybe, just maybe the GTB holds a small advantage in the looks department but when the two cars are side by side in the real world most crowds are 50/50 as to which is best looking.
Actually the true successor to the 246 Dino was the GTB. It's design was completed in the early 1970's but production was delayed because they had quality issues with the fiberglass body (something they never were able to completely solve) There is a picture of the prototype GTB and it had a landscape oriented indent on the nose indicating that it was originally intended to be badged as a Dino but by 1976 they had abandoned the Dino brand. The GT4 was the predecessor to the Mondial which they continued to build through 1993.

Glad you enjoyed it 👍
I like the Farrow & Ball colours on the House.. I managed to tear my eyes away from the red beauties for a second when I saw thatch.
This is all any petrol head needs, the new 10,000hp hybrid supercars do nothing for me....this on the other hand ...a dream car for me in 1980 when I was 16 watching magnum ....peace
👍
Ah weren’t they the days, magnum, the fall guy, chips, dukes of hazard. The A team. Air wolf, street hawk, knight rider. 👌👍
Mega 👌
Clearly built for Italians that looks 90% scale with you in it. Honestly, I liked the Dino out of the two.
People used to be shorter on average.
Not just in italy.
308 from the heart, because of nostalgia, The Dino from eyes, the emotion of its styling.
From a time where there were no multi-layered CPUs "interpreting" and "interfering" with the driver's inputs. These were purely mechanical times so it was from you, to the controls, to the road. This car would feel engaging in a crowded car park.
Yep 👍
Look forward to the next classic drive. Old cars are full of emotion and nostalgia 👌
Quality video as always. Looking forward to more Hammer Time!
Lovely car.Great Magnum memories.All that was missing were Higgins and TC.That drive looked like a lot of fun.Thanks for sharing.
Now this Ferrari V8 screams of old money and that’s cooler than a polar bear’s claws.
Lovely car. Good stuff Ped.
Loved the 308 and magnum pi
And that episode when magnum decks postman pat for pulling out in front of Robin Massters Ferrari
Higgins would not be happy
My favourite Ferrari, and like you, inspired my watching Magnum PI as a kid! Still on my wish list!!
Cracking car, 308GTB was and still is my dream car! wicked video ;-)

Years ago, I read that Italian test drivers had long arms and short legs. This car proves that. At 6'2", I can sympathize with you.

OK, so you completely missed out the other Dino - 308GT4 - which was the first Ferrrai V8 and built from 1974 - 1979. The 246 ended in 1973 and the 308 GTB didn't start until 1976 when the first models had fibreglass panels.
style wise the 308 wins for me. being of a similar age magnum was a must watch.
I have just realised I know where you are driving in the last few mins of this film, you lucky man
These vids reinforce my belief that given the choice (and I had a 550 Maranello years ago, which was relatively modern at the time) I’d much rather have a Ferrari of this vintage and not the modern examples. They are dynamically spectacular of course, but a little OTT for my liking.
Oh and that overhead cabin shot, perfect.

Lovin” it. You looked pretty packed in there. What is you length?
Hi Pete 👍
What a car!
That engin does sound on song, really would like to be in your position!!
Good place to start the partnership Ped.... 👍🏻
308 still looks sharp but the 60s lines & back story of Enzo's son Dino give the nod to that one for me I think.
Keep them coming, waiting to see what British & German classics are in the pipeline 🤗
Great video the car great sound
Tom Selleck was 6 foot 4 so he was probably more cramped than you were. Nice when your dream car holds up in reality.
I'm so Jealous Pete 😁😁 My favourite Ferrari
Lovely car tho i think the dino is just beautiful, the extra ponies are welcome tho

Unlike a modern car it is possible to diy one of these,check out Number 27's channel.
Maybe we can =start with the Dino n finish off with the 246. the 308 looks good very good But Not in comparison to the 246, the Dino is in a different leaque when it comes to looks
